Hey Paul (and the rest),

It must be very exciting to see your babies finally growing out of the 
decimal release numbers.  Good stuff!

Installed RC2 from the tar and everything I normally use works well so 
far. Thanks! ardour2 now looks so yummy that I even convinced my 
Pro-tools-head brother to give it a try!

Some repeatable segfaults though...

   1. Start Ardour2
   2. Open Session, and choose a recent session with a few snapshots.
   3. After loading, open Snapshots taskcard on the editor window
   4. Select a different snapshot on the card.
   5. Immediate segfault

   1. Close an open session on the "File" => "Close session" menu in the
      editor
   2. Session closes, revealing the Session control window.
   3. click "Open session" and open any session
   4. Immediate segfault


Except for these I haven't had problems.  At least it is not dangerous 
errors, just mildly irritating, and certainly avoidable by changing 
workflow (for now anyways ;-)  )

If you need backtraces, let me know, and I'll compile from SVN.  In the 
mean time... I'm working on a deadline project using rc2.  Live on the edge.

Regards,
Quentin
